DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Deaf Hill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Deaf Hill

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you work in Deaf Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Deaf Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
